INTRODUCTION. 
BY  CHARLES  HENRY  HART. 

|HIS  catalogue  is  the  first  attempt  to  make 
a  systematic  record  of  the  engraved  por 
traits  of  Abraham  Lincoln,  sixteenth 
President  of  the  United  States;  and 
never  before,  as  far  as  can  be  ascertained,  has  a 
special  exhibition  of  them  been  undertaken.  The 
catalogue  and  exhibition  therefore  are  not  only 
interesting,  but  they  are  important ;  for  while  com 
pleteness  is  not  claimed  for  either,  they  will  un 
doubtedly  serve  to  stimulate  interest  in  the  subject 
and  lead  to  the  unearthing  of  portraits  of  Lincoln 
hitherto  unknown.  Such  is  universally  the  result 
of  a  first  essay  in  any  new  field  of  investigation, 
which,  at  best,  can  only  be  regarded  as  a  tentative 
effort,  and  therefore  is  entitled  to  the  consideration 
due  to  all  pioneer  work,  commendation  for  what  has

INTRODUCTION. 


been  done  and  forbearance  for  that  which  uncon 
sciously  has  been  left  undone. 

Mr.  Lincoln  came  to  the  forefront  comparatively 
so  late  in  life,  when  the  art  of  engraving  had 
fallen  into  disuse,  that  but  little  variety  will  be  found 
in  the  types  of  the  portraits  shown,  and  but  few  of 
them  possess  any  artistic  merit.  Yet  their  value  as 
human  documents  is  unmistakable,  and  this  will  in 
crease  as  time  rolls  on;  for  Abraham  Lincoln  is  the 
typical  American  in  history,  and  consequently  he  is 
the  greatest  of  Americans.  Washington,  who  made 
Lincoln  possible,  was  historically  a  Briton,  so  that 
when  we  place  the  saviour  of  his  country  upon  the 
lofty  pedestal  we  do,  we  in  no  wise  disparage  or 
detract  from  the  eminence  of  him  who  was  "  first  in 
war,  first  in  peace,  and  first  in  the  hearts  of  his 
countrymen/' — the  father  of  his  country. 

Abraham  Lincoln  was  born  in  Hardin,  now  Larue 
county,  Kentucky,  near  Nolin  creek,  about  a  couple 
of  miles  from  Hodgensville,  the  present  county 
seat  of  Larue  county,  on  the  i2th  day  of  February, 
1809.  His  parents  were  poor  and  illiterate,  and  the 
education  he  received  was  meagre,  his  early  life 
being  one  of  continued  hardships.  It  was  not  long, 
however,  before  Lincoln  showed  that  he  was  sui 
generis.  At  the  age  of  twenty-four  he  secured  the 
office  of  country  postmaster,  and  the  next  year  en 
tered  the  Illinois  legislature,  where  he  sat  through 
four  sessions.  He  read  law  and  was  admitted  to 


INTRODUCTION.  5 

the  bar,  and  at  thirty-seven  was  sent  to  Congress, 
where  he  served  for  one  term.  Consequently  he 
had  acquired  some  local  reputation,  but  his  name 
was  unknown  to  the  country  at  large,  until  he  en 
tered  the  field  of  debate  with  Stephen  A.  Douglas, 
in  the  summer  of  1858,  both  being  candidates  for  a 
seat  in  the  United  States  Senate.  This  led  the  way 
to  his  famous  speech  at  the  Cooper  Institute,  New 
York,  on  February  27,  1860,  which  Horace  Greeley 
stamped  as  the  best  political  speech  to  which  he 
ever  listened,  defining  a  political  speech  to  be,  "  an 
effort  to  convince  the  largest  possible  number  that 
they  ought  to  be  on  the  speaker's  side,  not  on  the 
other."  Therefore  when,  in  May  of  1860,  Abraham 
Lincoln  was  nominated  for  the  Presidency,  the  poli 
ticians  of  the  country  knew,  if  the  people  did  not, 
something  of  what  manner  of  man  he  was.  His 
subsequent  election,  career,  and  foul  murder  are 
matter  of  history  too  familiar  to  need  repeating,  but 
this  brief  outline  of  the  life  of  the  man  whose  por 
traiture  is  exhibited  at  this  time  will  explain  why 
his  portraits  cover  such  a  short  period  of  his  life. 

At  the  time  of  his  nomination  for  the  Presidency, 
Mr.  Lincoln  gave  this  description  of  himself :  "  I 
am  in  height  six  feet  four  inches  nearly ;  lean  in 
flesh,  weighing  on  an  average  180  pounds;  dark 
complexion,  with  coarse  black  hair  and  gray  eyes." 
To  this  description  his  secretary,  Mr.  Nicolay,  adds 
these  details  of  the  peculiarities  of  Lincoln's  form 


INTRODUCTION. 


and  features :  "  Large  head  with  high  crown  of 
skull ;  thick,  bushy  hair ;  large  and  deep  eye  cav 
erns;  heavy  eyebrows;  a  large  nose;  large  ears; 
large  mouth;  very  high  and  prominent  cheek 
bones;  cheeks  thin  and  sunken;  strongly  developed 
jaw  bones;  chin  slightly  upturned;  a  thin  but 
sinewy  neck,  rather  long ;  long  arms ;  large  hands ; 
chest  thin  and  narrow  as  compared  with  great 
height ;  legs  of  more  than  proportionate  length,  and 
large  feet." 

While  these  structural  particulars  are  of  value 
and  have  been  utilized  by  Mr.  St.  Gaudens  in  the 
most  masterly  statue  yet  erected  in  America,  alone 
they  would  give  no  idea  of  how  Abraham  Lincoln 
appeared,  in  the  flesh,  to  those  who  knew  him.  And 
indeed  no  word-painting  can  convey  to  the  mind 
of  another  an  adequate  conception  of  the  appear 
ance  of  any  person,  so  much  depends  upon  the 
spirit  and  expression,  which  latter,  in  persons  of 
character,  is  ever  changing.  With  Mr.  Lincoln 
this  was  notably  the  case,  so  that  it  was  the  despair 
of  painters  and  of  photographers  to  catch  a  likeness, 
and  the  best  that  can  be  done  is  to  make  a  com 
posite,  in  the  mind,  from  all  the  pictures  that  we 
have  of  him  and  all  the  characteristics  that  we  know 
of  him. 

Mr.  Lincoln  has  been  called  by  one  of  his  best 
friends  "  an  ugly,  awkward  giant."  But  no  man 
with  the  soulful  expression  that  flowed  from  his 


INTRODUCTION.  7 

eyes  could  be  ugly,  and  that  evanescent,  subtle 
quality  which  was  supreme  in  him,  is  the  most  diffi 
cult  to  catch  and  fix. 

If  to-day  any  one  wants  to  behold  Abraham 
Lincoln,  as  he  was  when  he  lived  and  moved  and 
had  his  being,  at  his  full  stature  and  with  his  noble 
soul  astir,  journey  to  Chicago  and  kneel  before  the 
bronze  statue  by  Augustus  St.  Gaudens.  It  is  the 
man  himself,  with  all  his  humility  and  nobility,  with 
all  his  gentleness  and  strength ;  "  With  malice 
toward  none,  with  charity  for  all,  with  firmness  in 
the  right  as  God  gives  us  to  see  the  right."  It  is 
not  Abraham  Lincoln  the  liberator  of  slaves,  but 
Abraham  Lincoln  the  Saviour  of  the  Union, —  he 
who  said,  "  My  paramount  object  in  this  struggle  is 
to  save  the  Union,  and  is  not  either  to  save  or  to 
destroy  slavery."  And  these  words  are  inscribed 
at  the  base  of  St.  Gaudens's  statue,  showing  the  lofty 
and  true  historic  conception  of  the  man  possessed 
by  this  great  sculptor. 

The  earliest  portrait  of  Lincoln  painted  from  life 
was  by  Thomas  Hicks,  who  was  sent  for  the  pur 
pose  from  New  York  to  Springfield  soon  after  the 
nomination.  It  is  a  full  bust,  nearly  in  profile,  and 
portrays  Lincoln  without  any  beard,  an  adornment 
or  disfigurement  he  never  wore  until  after  his  elec 
tion  to  the  Presidency.  Life-portraits  of  him  were 
also  painted  by  William  Morris  Hunt,  E.  D.  Mar- 
chant,  G.  P,  A.  Healy,  A.  J.  Conant,  Frank  B. 


8  INTRODUCTION. 

Carpenter,  and  Matthew  Wilson ;  a  miniature  on 
ivory  was  painted  by  J.  Henry  Brown,  and  is  now 
in  the  possession  of  Hon.  Robert  T.  Lincoln; 
and  Leonard  W.  Volk,  of  Chicago,  and  Thomas  D. 
Jones,  of  Columbus,  each  made  busts  of  him  from 
life.  Volk  also  made,  as  likewise  did  Clark  Mills, 
a  mask  from  the  living  face ;  but  life  masks  such  as 
these  are  of  little  or  no  value  as  portraits.  Indeed  so- 
true  is  this,  that  when  Mr.  St.  Gaudens  saw  the  cast 
from  Clark  Mills's  mask  of  Lincoln,  he  insisted 
that  it  must  be  a  death  mask,  so  lacking  is  it  in 
vitality. 

The  best  prints  of  Lincoln,  in  an  artistic  sense, 
are  the  etchings  by  Raj  on  and  Johnson,  the  large 
woodcut  by  Kruell,  and  the  line-engravings  by  Mar 
shall  and  Gugler.  That  by  Gugler  is  claimed  to  be 
the  largest  portrait  ever  engraved  on  steel.  It  pur 
ports  to  be  from  a  painting  by  J.  H.  Littlefield,  a 
former  student  at  law  in  Mr.  Lincoln's  office ;  but 
the  portrait  is  in  fact  from  a  Brady  photograph,  with 
a  slight  change  in  the  arrangement  of  the  hair. 
While  prints,  including  those  on  steel,  wood,  and 
stone,  are  the  principal  objects  shown  in  the  present 
exhibition,  perhaps  the  only  satisfactory  study  of  the 
portraiture  of  Abraham  Lincoln  can  be  made  from 
photographs,  of  which  there  are  many,  taken  within 
the  last  five  years  of  his  life. 

Interest  in  everything  pertaining  to  Lincoln  is  on 
the  steady  increase,  and  many  valuable  collections- 


INTRODUCTION.  9 

have  been  formed  of  his  portraits,  of  the  literature 
pertaining  to  him,  and  of  personal  memorials. 

The  Lincoln  cult  is  only  in  its  infancy.  It  has  had 
but  a  single  generation  in  which  to  grow ;  but  as  the 
perspective  of  time  brings  into  grander  relief  the 
noble  proportions  of  its  subject,  homage  and  ad 
miration  for  him  will  be  bounded  only  by  the  civil 
ized  world. 


The  Committee  of  Arrangements  desires  to 
thank  Major  W.  H.  Lambert  and  Mr.  W.  C. 
Crane,  who  are  not  members  of  the  Grolier  Club, 
for  their  valuable  contributions,  without  which 
the  exhibition  could  not  have  been  completed. 


ENGRAVINGS. 


The  inscriptions  are  always  at  the  bottom,  unless  other 
wise  stated. 

"  Facsimile  signature  "  is  abbreviated  "  Fac.  sig." 

The  sizes  are  in  inches,  the  width  being  given  first. 
Whenever  possible,  the  size  of  the  full  plate  is  given,  as  well 
as  that  of  the  engraved  part. 

In  the  case  of  vignette-portraits,  the  greatest  width  and 
height  of  the  engraved  part  of  the  plate  are  noted. 

"  L.  P."  before  the  size  means  that  only  Lincoln's  portrait 
has  been  measured,  and  not  the  remainder  of  the  engraving.
